# streamWrapper::stream_read

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.2, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

streamWrapper::stream_read — Read from stream

### Beschreibung

public streamWrapper::stream_read(int `$count`): string|false

This method is called in response to fread() and fgets().

> Hinweis:

> Remember to update the read/write position of the stream (by the number of bytes that were successfully read).

### Parameter-Liste

`count`

  How many bytes of data from the current position should be returned.

### Rückgabewerte

If there are less than `count` bytes available, as many as are available should be returned. If no more data is available, an empty string should be returned. To signal that reading failed, `false` should be returned.

### Fehler/Exceptions

Wirft `E_WARNING`, wenn der Aufruf dieser Methode fehlschlug (z. B. weil sie nicht implementiert ist).

> Hinweis:

> If the return value is longer then `count` an `E_WARNING` error will be emitted, and excess data will be lost.

### Anmerkungen

> Hinweis:

> streamWrapper::stream_eof() is called directly after calling streamWrapper::stream_read() to check if EOF has been reached. If not implemented, EOF is assumed.

Warnung

When reading the whole file (for example, with file_get_contents()), PHP will call streamWrapper::stream_read() followed by streamWrapper::stream_eof() in a loop but as long as streamWrapper::stream_read() returns a non-empty string, the return value of streamWrapper::stream_eof() is ignored.
